Description
### Code of Conduct
- [x] I agree to follow Django's Code of Conduct
### Feature Description
A built in way for Django to generate and validate one time tokens.
### Problem
Many web apps use single-use codes for:
* Passwordless login
* Email/phone verification
* 2FA
Despite being a common requirement, Django currently lacks a built-in, standardized mechanism for generating and validating one-time passwords (OTPs).
### Request or proposal
proposal
### Additional Details
_No response_
### Implementation Suggestions
Proposed APIs (obviously I'm still open to suggestions):
```python
from django.auth import otp
token = otp.create(key, ttl, length, allowed_chars)
# Passing in `delete=True` would invalidate the token after successful validation
otp.authenticate(key, token, invalidate=False)
```
